Blue Star

After regaining his energy, Gu Li led the team to the front after regaining his energy.

Iris woke up but was in poor health from severe dehydration.The wounds on the body could not be healed by the body, festering occurred where the worm-infected body was contaminated.

The herbs that Xijia found can only relieve the pain, what the mermaid really needs is water.Excessive dryness caused Iris's physical fitness to decline significantly, but even so, he didn't complain when he followed the team, and he didn't even ask for rewards as usual.

Gu Li took out a half-drunk water bottle from his backpack, walked to the end of the line and handed it to Iris.

Iris tried to raise his hand to catch it, but the severe burn on his palm made him move slowly, and he couldn't use his arms because of the broken fin on his elbow.

"Don't move." Gu Li unscrewed the bottle cap, dragged Iris's chin and fed two mouthfuls.

Iris' eyes fell on Gu Li's bandaged hand, and he frowned and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Gu Li felt depressed and uncomfortable, and Iris, who was covered in injuries, was still worried about whether he was in pain or not.

Before setting off, Dao Porling talked to him again. In fact, even if no one reminded him, he would weigh the pros and cons.But he still wanted to wait, the mermaid's gene was so powerful, he didn't believe that Iris would really die here, just because of these insignificant wounds for the mermaid.

"Do you want a reward?" Gu Li helped Iris wipe off the drops of water dripping from his lips, "You did a great job, very good. I wouldn't be here without you."

Iris didn't answer. He didn't know what was going on in his mind, but he could see that he was extremely tired.

According to the current injury, I really shouldn't travel far, and I don't know what I will encounter in the future.If the team is attacked by worms again, let alone Iris, everyone will have an accident.

"Rest in place for 10 minutes." Gu Li frowned.

During the one-hour journey, I took three breaks for the first time.At this rate, I don't know that the year of the monkey will be able to find the source of infection at the Sixth Goddess Pillar.

Dao Porling looked helplessly at Gu Li who was taking care of the mermaid, opened his backpack and placed defensive crystals around them.Most of them are located on rock walls, there are no crystal mines around them, and the talents of wizards are weakening.

Looking at the inhibiting crystal ore that could not be completely decomposed into powder in the palm of his hand, he could only find a piece of gauze and pass it to Gu Li, "Sprinkle it on the wound and try it. If the blue lamp mushroom is effective, it should also be of some use." .”

Gu Li took the restraining crystal powder and sprinkled it on Iris' wound, but because of the limited quantity, he couldn't take care of all places.

After replacing the new herb prepared by Xijia, he took the blueprint and checked around.The current location is still a little away from the third Goddess Pillar. If you move at this speed, it will take at least three or four days to reach it.

For him, Iris is the guarantee in the wild, and losing the mermaid means that the road ahead will be extremely difficult, and the team is likely to be reduced again.

But if you insist on taking Iris, who is seriously injured and cannot heal, a lot of food, drinking water and time will be wasted, even though Iris has been eating as little as possible.Abandoning the mermaid is the worst choice so far, but it is also the best choice.

Iris stared at him intently, with no emotion on his face except tiredness.The bandaged hands tightened his backpack straps, as if reading something from his mind, and put the half-eaten jerky back into his bag.

Gu Li put away these "calculations" and said to the others: "I'll go find the way, you wait for me here."

Dao Porling waved his hand, "Go early and come back early. Walk for 10 minutes and rest for 10 minutes. I don't know when I can get out of this ghost place. If there is a shady place, I can just camp there."

Mimir fiddled with the weapon parts in his hand, and pieced together a new crossbow gun.Originally, he wanted to give it to Dao Porling, but thinking that Xijia was still unarmed, he got up and handed it over.

"This gun is given to you, because Daoporing's talent has mutated, and the number of bullets is limited now."

"Don't talk nonsense, have you ever seen a wizard whose talent can mutate." Dao Porling was very disgusted while eating the dried fruit, and then noticed Xijia's ugly face, and asked: "Is the little girl sick? Under the eyes Why is it so dark, come closer and let me see."

Xi Jia took two steps back to avoid it, turned her face away and quickly raised her hand to cover it.

Mimir took a sip of water and felt sorry for Xijia, "Who eats and sleeps like you, or if you look at mine, my eye circles are almost black."

"Go, go, you are the most energetic in the whole team, what's there to see?"

Xijia took Mimir's crossbow gun, but her mind was not here.After saying thanks, he looked at the third Goddess Pillar looming in the fog in the distance, and asked Dao Porling, "Can you feel it? Plants seem to be growing on that pillar."

For induction, Dao Porling's talent can only feel crystal mines, "How can I feel this, I can only say that from this canyon to the third Goddess Pillar, there is no breath of crystal mines at all. I see Gu Li That kid will change his route nine times out of ten, and if there are no crystal mines around the pillars, it's a waste of time and a long detour."

Xijia glanced at Iris, "Where there are a lot of plants means there is water. Didn't you say that mermaids need..."

"A source of water is needed." Dao Porling added for her: "But you have to understand that there will never be fewer monsters wherever there is a source of water. What's more, there is no magnetic field around the pillar, and it would be death in the past. Otherwise, how could Gu Li do it?" You are forbidden to enter the cave in the canyon."

While talking, Gu Li, who had planned the route, came back with the blueprint, looked at the sky and estimated the approximate time.

"Let's go, there are no mutated animals and plants in this area. But let's not go to the third Goddess Pillar, and go straight in the direction of the fourth Goddess Pillar."

Several people packed their backpacks and got up, Xijia suggested anxiously: "At the third Goddess Pillar, I can feel a lot of green plants, very dense. There seems to be a plant inside, although I don't know what it is, but it can definitely heal the wound, I feel get."

Seeing that Gu Li was hesitating, she turned her feeling of uncertainty into affirmation, "Let's take a look in the past. If Iris can really be cured, the road ahead will definitely be easier than now. Even if it can't be cured or it's because of monsters There are too few to find, and it will not be too late to turn around and go to the fourth Goddess Pillar."

Fearing that Dao Porling and Mimir would object, she clenched the crossbow gun in her hand, "Or we will split into two ways, and I will go find the herbs, and if I find them, I will catch up with you."

"It's really whimsical." Dao Porling couldn't help but stop, "We may not be able to pass safely, how can you, a little girl, get there by then..."

"Yes." Gu Li interrupted the porphyr, "From here to the third Goddess Pillar is a desolate rock wall, the magnetic field emitted by the creatures is relatively weak, and the number of monsters should not be too many. But you can't go alone , since we are a team, we will act together.”

Dao Porling put on his glasses helplessly, "I don't know if I owe you a few little ones in my previous life. Hurry up if you want to leave, or it will get dark again in a while."

Gu Li approached Iris and wanted to help him up, but he didn't want to be avoided by Iris, so he said to him in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine."

Gu Li withdrew his hand and hung the half-drunk water bottle on Iris, "Let's go."

There was no break in the trip this time, and Iris followed at the end of the team, trying not to look like an injured person.He didn't call Gu Li again, and he could even eat and drink as little as possible.

After nightfall, the road became difficult to walk. After discussing with each other, several people camped on a higher cliff.Although there are no green plants in the hot canyon, there are many dead trees. It may be that this area has become desolate only in recent years.

Gu Li cut down a lot of dead branches to use as a heat-insulating mattress, and after putting away the lighting crystal mine, the surrounding area fell into darkness.He lay on his side with one hand on his head, and when his eyes got used to it, he stared at the cave on the cliff in the distance.

The biomagnetic field in these caves fluctuates, like a mass of salamanders encountered for the first time in a library.Xijia found medicinal herbs in the cave, that is to say, even if there is no water source, he can get some drinkable mountain spring water in the cave.But for the sake of safety, he still gave up exploring in the cave.After all, the magnetic field induction is weakening. If it is really a nest of worms, even if there is water, it will probably be polluted into a swamp.

Frowning with a headache, he was about to turn over and go to sleep, when suddenly an arm hung around his waist.The gauze-wrapped palms were restrained, and the fish fins with broken bones on the elbows were dry and drooping, without the moisture of sea water, even those blue light spots that would glow disappeared.

The skin around the fins has tiny scales, which are a bit fried at the moment because they are too dry, and many of them fall off when the arms are exerted, exposing the blue flesh inside.

Iris tightened his arms, approached and hugged Gu Li into his arms.Burying his face in Gu Li's neck, he sniffed the scent and said with aggrieved words intermittently: "No, leave me. The wound will heal."

Gu Li clenched his fists and made no sound, while Iris pressed his hot body against his back, and rubbed his dry and peeled lips against the skin of his neck.Like a kiss, more like begging for a response.

He caressed the back of Gu Li's clenched hand with his injured hand, and his fingers that were exposed outside the gauze passed through Gu Li's fingers.

Gu Li closed his eyes and opened them again, turned over and pressed Iris under him, crawled closer but didn't kiss him.The merman was seducing him, trying to keep him around the way he had done before.

This is just a fish being used by him, almost every time Iris approaches him, he will remind himself like this.However, the body seems to have self-awareness, and every time it is touched, it will tremble uncontrollably.

He raised his hand to caress Iris's face, wiped his soft but dry lips with his thumb, and said with a rapid heartbeat: "Why did you rescue me from the sea? Why did you go ashore with me? On Zhonghuaide's boat, almost everyone Human beings are regarded as food by your kind, why didn't you eat me?"

These questions were so inexplicable that even he himself felt that there was no need to ask them.It was a miracle that he was saved by the mermaid, and he needed such a miracle.But he really wanted to know the answers to these questions. When he learned that Iris was about to die, he especially wanted to hear a reasonable answer.

He took advantage of the identity of the mermaid's spouse and the fighting power of the mermaid to lure Iris to come here.But he thought too well of everything, and the mutated creatures were far more powerful than he imagined.

When Doporin asked him to abandon Iris, he thought it was a good idea, the right thing to do in the situation.But he felt his irrationality, the indecision that shouldn't have appeared on him.

If it was Gu An, if Gu An, who was excellent in all aspects, led the team, he would definitely do better than him.

Iris let go of his hand and hugged him, stroking his back like a child.

In the darkness, Iris raised his head slightly, kissed him on the lips, and after parting, looked at his brows and eyes gently, and said, "Gu Li, don't cry."

Gu Li was shocked, there were no tears in his eyes.He's an emotionless wizard, always has been.

The mermaid's eyes are very clear, as clean as the sea without dust, so that he feels that he is more like a demon at the moment who can only use and calculate.Iris did not infect him, but he felt that his evil and humanity were infecting a pure mermaid, a mythical creature born in hell.

The hand touching Iris' cheek trembled slightly, and he said, "Why did you go ashore with me, why are you not human..."
